Remember We Were Lovers

[Verse 1: Bobby Gillespie]

Remember we were lovers?

It seems so long ago

Now love is just a memory

Old photographs will show

You never want to hold me

Or kiss me anymore

We may sleep together

But really we’re alone

[Chorus: Jehnny Beth]

Do you stand like this

‘Cause you too have been placed

At the edge of a cliff?

You saw the risk that you should take

But never did

Or do you stand like this

‘Cause life washed you out

And left nothing

But madness in your eyes

Madness in your eyes?

[Verse 2: Bobby Gillespie]

Feeling like I’ve lost you

Where did we go wrong?

Tell myself I can’t live without you

Am I really not that strong?

Am I a fool to still want you?

After all that we’ve been through

We’re martyrs in a marriage

In a war we’re gonna lose

[Chorus: Jehnny Beth]

Do you stand like this

‘Cause you too have been placed

At the edge of a cliff?

You saw the risk that you should take

But never did

Or do you stand like this

‘Cause life washed you out

And left nothing

But madness in your eyes

Madness in your eyes?

[Verse 3: Bobby Gillespie]

We’re stupid and ungrateful

We’ll never ever learn

We abuse this gift we’re given

Again and again and again and again

Remember we were lovers?

Remember we were lovers?

Remember we were lovers?

Remember we were lovers?

Remember we were lovers?

Remember we were lovers?

Remember we were lovers?
